Has anyone experienced a reasonable amount of brownish(prune juice like)heavy spotting during early stage pregnancy.No clotting just discharge. I was hoping it was implantation spotting but it seems a little heavy for that. I also have very mild cramping and a little watery blood mixed in. Although it not like my normal period it does seem to be more than a 24 hour thing.

I would appreciate any advice or comments.

Thanks!!

re brownish spotting

Thanks everyone for your comments.

I fear the worst as this is my third attempt with IVF so I know when the embryos are transfers so they are 14 days old. Normally my period would have arrived on time as always last week but no. So you start to become hopeful. Out of the blue brownish spotting started and now has more dark blood in it so I feel it has not worked again. I don't think you can have a big bleed and still be pregnant.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Haveyou been in touch with the IVF people to see what they say....I really hope it has worked for you....it's a hard process to go thro...
You'd be amazed at how many women go on to have successful pregnancies even after bleeding..alot of the ladies on here will be able to verify that..as they now have their LO's or are eagerly awaiting them.

Take care and let us know how you're doing...

Hi back everone.

Yes the IVF process in unbelievably hard both mentally and physically. No one can prepare you for it. It's also very lonely as men cannot understand the emotional hormone highs and lows we pass through. So many injections,blood tests, scans, then surgery to get the eggs and then wondering will we have eggs fertilized? Then once the embryos are implanted you have two weeks before a blood test is done by the clinic to see if ther is a pregnancy. How to remain calm during these two weeks is a huge challenge. It is always the longest two weeks of my life. We are lucky our eggs fertilize very well the problem is the embryo's don't continue to evolve once in me.

I had my blood test today it was negative so back to the drawing board next year.

Merry Christmas xxxxxxxx

I only imagine how devastating it is for you. My friend recently had twin girls with ivf, she had been trying for 8 years.
Its just so unfair people like you have to go through all this to get a baby.
I wish I could say something helpful. All I can say is sending big hugs to you and your husband
love Lucy xx
